Description


Delivering highly accurate measurements of wind speed and direction in all weather conditions, the AS06B Wind Sensor with NMEA 0183 output is the ideal choice for reliable and robust marine application.

The AS06B comes pre-calibrated and ready for immediate use, providing instant wind speed and direction data to NMEA 0183 devices or integrating seamlessly into an NMEA 2000 network (AS01 NMEA 2000 Mini Gateway required, sold separately). Featuring ceramic bearings and non-contact sensors housed in a durable enclosure, the AS06B is perfect for demanding marine and offshore environments. It is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, salt, dirt accumulation, and corrosive substances, ensuring reliable performance in the harshest conditions.

Combine with the AS01, the AS06B can be connected to NMEA 2000 backbone to provide wind information to other NMEA 2000 devices.
